The idea of these steps is to get the parts looking like there’s a dry haze to them. See the pics for examples. The door panel on the right is after the plastic prep stage.
Then spray with SEM Adhesive Promoter followed with a light coat of the new color. Let that flash. Then add light coats, drying in between, until you’re happy with the coverage.
Now the last 3 pics started out blue, and they were changed to Carmine Red.
Wow! You do great work! It makes me feel better that you have had success doing a color change. I may just go for it as soon as the weather here cooperates. Thank you!
